Post debate ponderfication – the good, the bad, and the reasons some of y’all need to calm the fuck down

Shall we?

The first presidential debate took place last night.

Romney did well.

Translation – he came across as human (not warm or anything
but…well, human-ish like a newer version Cylon)…cough…twas aggressive in a “wildcat”
kind of way, and he landed more punches than he took.

President Obama did not do well.

Translation – he came across like he was a 3,000 year old
vampire who hadn’t feed in at least 1,500 years.

The good?

If you’re going to shit the bed, shit the hell out of
it!

Obama’s performance was just bad
enough that he won’t be able to bullshit himself and that means he’s more
likely to listen to advice and make adjustments.

Coping thought for the masses – Fritz Mondale won the first debate
with Reagan in '84, but I seem to remember 4 more years of rule under the spawn of
Satan that was The Gipper.

The bad?

Romney is gonna get some love after last night’s performance.

Catch the knee…catch it!

He is…and it’ll be amplified way out of proportion by a
political press corps that clearly was bored to shit with his campaign and
feared 30 more days of it.

Prepare thyselves for several days of blah, blah, blah.Tis the nature of the beast and you know damn
well you’d be doing the exact same shit if Obama had come out there like a 3,000 year
old vampire who just ripped off the Denver Blood Bank.

Coping thought for the masses – this is EXACTLY the kind of “oh
shit, this campaign ain’t over!” kick in the ass that the liberal base
needed!

Pause...sip apple juice...continue.

Flock o’ bitchitude, presidential debates
are a lot like the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Lots of analysts make all kinds of predictions based on how
each team looked going into Round One.

But in the end, only one team raises the Cup…

…while the line for humble pie wraps around the rink.

Up next - VP Joey B. v That Congressman Who Wants to Take Food Out of My Disabled Brother's Mouth...

Ultimately it's going to come down to how people feel about Obamacare. Although healthcare reform is absolutely necessary it is politically volatile. It will fare well for Obama's legacy but possibly not so well for his Presidency.

I did not view the debate, however I foresee Romney winning. Congress must keep the white man in power and in the presidency. Forgive my pessimistic perspective, but I never believed Obama was here to make a difference he was only a facade of possibility that change could occur. America is a capitalist country, democracy takes place when people create change as a collective. We as a nation need to remember who controls the wealth in this country, no corporation will change their policies and how they do business for the 99%.

Hilarious! Thanks for framing the election by showing us just how ridiculous the other side is. Romney, like many rich white male Republicans, appears so out of touch with EVERYTHING that a vote for him seems laughable to me. Sadly, the under-informed may vote in his favor just 'cause he isn't African-American Obama, who the media has been intent on portraying as some scary foreign bogeyman out to destroy Mom, the flag, and apple pie. Sigh.
